Headstamps used for .223 reloading

[Chris2087]

Well the bigest lot is what I will load. Right now its PMC, but I prepped the RP brass first to play with the tumbler, press. Now just waiting for the powder to get here. Speaking of which, do any of you guys know any local places that carry Ramshot Powder?

Only reason I mentioned it was that I used some Federal produced LC 5.56 brass (04 production) that was thicker and gave some pressure indications with some loads that were fine in comm. Brass.

Thanks, I will work loads for each lot on their own. Looking at the grain weight of samples from each lot and the volume diffrences its the only safe way to go. I will be examining each case for indications of pressure problems.

Thanks Guys.

I load all mine to near max loads. BTW, I have a batch of 800+ with mixed headstamps that are on their forth reload and they show no sign of preassure problems.
